More quotes by Annie Leibovitz
Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.
Annie Leibovitz
It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.
Annie Leibovitz
What I learned from Lennon was something that did stay with me my whole career, which is to be very straightforward. I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
Annie Leibovitz
I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.
Annie Leibovitz
There are still so many places on our planet that remain unexplored. I'd love to one day peel back the mystery and understand them.
Annie Leibovitz
I was out there with the White House press squad, and after his helicopter took off, and the carpet rolled up...This wasn't a photograph that others were taking, but I continued to take pictures.
Annie Leibovitz
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
Annie Leibovitz
People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.
Annie Leibovitz
I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.
Annie Leibovitz
You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can’t. It’s important to stay the course. I don’t think I would have lasted this long if I’d listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.
Annie Leibovitz
When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.
Annie Leibovitz
It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.
Annie Leibovitz
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
Annie Leibovitz
I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.
Annie Leibovitz
I've created a vocabulary of different styles. I draw from many different ways to take a picture. Sometimes I go back to reportage, to journalism.
Annie Leibovitz
In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.
Annie Leibovitz
Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.
Annie Leibovitz
When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.
Annie Leibovitz
When I was younger, I did things with a camera I would not do by myself. I remember going down to the docks in San Francisco and asking a fisherman if he would take me out on his boat. I would never do that without a camera.
Annie Leibovitz
The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.
Annie Leibovitz
